Tsochatzopoulos cousin appeals for conditional release
Nikos Zigras (photo), the first cousin and ex-business partner of former Defense Minister Akis Tsochatzopoulos, on Monday made a second appeal to have his detention, pending trial for money laundering, substituted with a conditional release.
Apart from testifying that Tsochatzopoulos?s family had been fully aware of kickbacks accepted by the ex-minister and a money-laundering network, Zigras has implicated several more suspects, including a former Cypriot minister.
